Cheese Fondue (Tyler Florence) image

I know that Fondue orginated from the Swiss, but this recipe was listed under Scandanavian at the other site when I used "scandanavian" as a search word. Either way, it sounds delish! I think I will add one more clove of garlic since we are such garlic fiends. From Food Network, Tyler Florence. Posted for ZWT 2010.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb imported swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 lb gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch nutmeg
assorted dippers

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside.
  • Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
  • Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.
  • Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods around fondue pot.
  • Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads.
  • Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus.
  • Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!
